To all whom iii-may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HAYES, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Cleveland, in the county of C-uyahoga and State of Ohio,have'invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Accessories,of which I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexactdescription, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

The objects of the invention are to provide a novel form of toiletaccessory used as a protector for the clothin of those engaged in manuallabor requiring the use of fluids of all sorts, and in such operationsas washing, painting, baking and chemical work Where the clothing needsprotection.

The device is designed for application to the wrists and coat sleevesand cuffs of the operator and comprises preferably, an elastic tube orsleeve applied closely to the Wrists which prevents fluid from enteringunderneath it.

- pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the deviceshowing the parts extended, Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the guardin position for use; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section thereof.

In these views A is an elastic sleeve applied to the wrist to excludeliquids therefrom. B is a cone formed of stiffened but flexiblematerial, and attached to the inner end of the sleeve, and this membercan be folded forwardat B intermediate of its ends, to form an annularcup, which will catch and retain fluid when the hands are in the raisedposition, but will permit it to flow out when the hands are lowered. Asshown in Figs. 2 and 3 when the cone is extended as shown in Fi 1, itcan he slipped over the coat sleeve an cufi' to protect them.

A limit for folding the corneal guard is provided by means of elevatedstop members D, D, which are attached to the guard hand this 26th day ofB and preferably extend longitudinally thereof and are provided withshoulders E, E. The margin of the guard. B is preferably reinforced bymeans of a bead or ring C, of the same or similar material.

Having described the invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

1. A sleeve protector, attachable to the wrist of the operator,consisting of an elastic tube, engaging the said wrist, a stiff conicalguard, attached to said tube foldable on itself to form an outwardlyflaring cup in a forward direction on a line intermediate of its ends,means of limiting the line of folding of the conical guard and meansreinforcing the outer'edge of said conical guard.

2. A sleeve protector comprising a stid conical guard, said guardfold-able inter mediate of its ends to provide a flaring body and anannular cup at the outer end thereof, and means for limiting theposition of the line of folding of said conical guard.

3. A sleeve protector comprising a stifl but flexible conical guard,said guard foldable intermediate of its ends to provide an outer annularcup, means for limiting the position of the line of folding of saidconical' guard, and an elastic tubular wrist attached to the inner endof said guard.

4. A sleeve protector comprising a stifl conical guard, said guardfolded forward upon itself intermediate of its ends to form an outwardlyflaring cup, spaced stifl'ening bars attached to the inner face of thecup, and extending from the fold to the martltl gin thereof, and a beadencircling the outer edge of said cup.

5. A sleeve protector comprising a stlff conical guard, said guardfolded forward upon itself intermediate of its ends to form an outwardlyflaring cup, spaced stidening bars attached to the inner face of thecup,

and extending from the fold to the margm thereof, and a bead encirclingthe outer edge of said cup and a thin tubular elastlc wrist portionattached to the smaller end of said conical guard.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my September 1917.

JAMES HAYES. In presence of- S. W. Sanesrm,
